VC-funded: So much to do, so little time.

I'm curious... what form do you think the added constraints of VC funding translate into in practice, besides the pressure to exit in a time frame?

it's almost all about pressure to grow within a certain timeframe:
2x every quarter instead of every 2 years
raise money frequently (easier to know which investments are working, easier to raise a new fund every 2 years).
hire like crazy
don't think about the bottom line.

yea, and now there are enough newly-minted tech IPOs to baseline against.
if it's a match: raise $100Ms
if not: raise nothing.
and no one knows how long this window is open for, so it's a mad dash!
